GRILLED CHICKEN AND MIXED GREENS SALAD

Steps:

• First things first. If you are not using a pre-grilled chicked file, then first season your chicken and put it in a hot pan to grill on both sides for a couple of minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool, then cut into smaller bites.
• Cut the stale bread slice into cubes and put into the pan to toast for a couple of minutes. When toasted, set aside to cool.
• Wash and drain the mixed greens. Use any kind of lettuce you like, or a mixture of it.
• Peel and slice the cucumber. Wash and slice your bell pepper (I had a light-green variety in my garden). Peel the carrot and cut into thin slices (or grate it). Cut cherry tomatoes in half.
• For the dressing, pour in a bowl or small jar olive oil and balsamic vinegar (1:3 ratio), add a squeeze of lemon juice or water, a small pinch of salt and some pepper. Mix well with a whisk or shake in a jar until well combined.
• Assemble your salad. In a bowl, place your washed salad greens, cucumber and bell pepper slices, halved cherry tomatoes, carrot sticks and a tablespoon of canned corn. Add chicken bites and bread crutons.
• Top the salad with some shaved parmesan cheese and the balsamic dressing.

GRILLED PORTERHOUSE STEAKS WITH MIXED GREEN SALAD

Steps:

• Purée anchovies with vinegar in a blender. With motor running, add oil in a slow stream and blend until emulsified. Transfer to a bowl. If dressing is too thick, whisk in water 1 teaspoon at a time to thin to desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Pat steaks dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat an oiled ridged grill pan over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then grill steaks, in batches if necessary, until well browned on both sides, about 14 minutes total.
• Transfer steaks to a shallow baking pan and roast in middle of oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted 2 inches into thickest part of meat (do not touch bone) registers 125°F, about 15 minutes. Transfer steaks to a cutting board, reserving meat juices in pan, and let stand 5 minutes.
• Toss greens, parsley, and olives with enough dressing to coat and season with salt and pepper. Cut steak across grain into thin slices. Drizzle with reserved pan juices or remaining vinaigrette and serve with salad.
